Je T’aime

On March 24, 2014March 23, 2014 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas1 Comment

So, I almost didn’t have any blog photos to share with you guys this week. For once, I was actually ahead of the game and shot some pics over the weekend, but when I went to import them into Lightroom, I received a dreaded error that my SD card was corrupted. I tried everything to retrieve the photos, but no luck. So thank goodness for my tech savvy hubby who was able to save the day for me! And so, in today’s outfit, it should be noted that the message on my new favorite graphic tee is not just dedicated to my love for the combination of neon yellow, and blue, but also, specifically to him. Je t’aime (I love you)…

Spring Fever

On March 7, 2014 By all dolled upIn Favorite Products, Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

Happy Friday, dolls! Thought I would leave you today with a few things that I am hoping to add to my Spring wardrobe. And the best part? Everything is under $100 (except the tote). I don’t know about you all, but I think my spring fever has officially set in!

Blanket Scarf

I have been loving extra big, cozy, plaid scarves this season. And this one is no exception. But not only is it the perfect piece to keep me nice and warm on even the coldest of winter days, it’s the perfect pop of color to help satiate my spring fever…

Raven + Lily

On January 14, 2014January 13, 2014 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

I am pretty sure that yesterday was the first Monday that I haven’t shared a blog post since I launched All Dolled Up. And if you follow me on Instagram (and if you don’t, you should: alldolledupblog), then you know I have been in Boulder cheering on my hubby at Cyclorcross Nationals. And while we had a really fun weekend, horrible roads plus a sick husband on the drive home meant having to unexpectedly stay the night in a hotel in the middle-of-nowhere Wyoming. So my apologies for missing yesterday!

But now that I am back, I wanted to share with you an amazing company called Raven + Lily. I love to shop fair trade and have shared quite a few fair trade finds and companies on the blog in the past, and so I thought it was important to share the ah-mazingness of Raven + Lily with all of you. Raven + Lily is a company founded by two women who wanted to use fashion and ethical design as a “a platform to utilize those passions to alleviate poverty among women”. The necklace I am wearing in today’s post is a favorite of mine from their Ethiopian Collection and was created by HIV positive women from handmade beads made of melted bullet casings from previous war conflicts. Talk about a powerful statement necklace. You can read more about Raven + Lily here, and you can shop their incredibly gorgeous collection here, including designs from Ethiopia, Cambodia, and India. When we are so blessed to live in this great country, and live the lives that we do, I think it’s incredibly important to give back when we can and support companies that empower women around the globe…

So Long, 2013…

On December 31, 2013December 30, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit IdeasLeave a comment

I always get a little reflective and perhaps even pensive when each year ends and a new one begins. It is a time of excitement and the promise of a new beginning and fresh start, but the turning of that page always makes me a little sad too. The older I get, the faster and faster time seems to go. Cliche, I know, but true none-the-less.

Looking back at 2013, this blog has really been such a highlight of my year. And so, I wanted to take today’s post to THANK ALL OF YOU for being with me every step of the way. Your support, your engagement, your ideas, your encouragement, your love-it has all meant the world to me. And I sincerely hope you will continue along this journey with me into 2014 I could not do what I do every day without each and every single one of you. So truly, from the bottom of my hear, THANK YOU.

And what better way to close out 2013 than with a look back at some of my (and yours too!) favorite looks from this year…

Grounded

On November 13, 2013November 12, 2013 By all dolled upIn Outfit Ideas1 Comment

You might have guessed pink, but yellow is actually my very favorite color. And one of my favorite ways to wear it as of late is in a neon hue back to black with a pop of leopard. And while I believe it’s perfectly acceptable to wear neon and bright colors all year round (and do!) during the colder months, it is good to ground them with darker colors making your brights feel more appropriate for the season…

I hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I’ve got to tell you, I am so happy it’s Wednesday and we are at the halfway point. Now if the weekend would just hurry up and get here already!

Giveaway!

On November 11, 2013November 11, 2013 By all dolled upIn Giveaway, Outfit Ideas7 Comments

I am so excited to be teaming up with one of my very favorite Etsy shops today, Basil The Cat! I first discovered this great shop when I was on the hunt for a bubble necklace a couple of years ago. And I discovered that Rachel not only made them by hand with a beautiful vintage feel (see this post-her’s is the turquoise version), but she also created all sorts of gorgeous one-of-a-kind vintage pieces. Swoon worthy, really. And let me tell you, I have a been a huge fan of hers ever since. So when she contacted me recently to not only give away one of the gorgeous Elephant lockets that I am wearing below, but also offer a 20% discount to All Dolled Up readers for the ENTIRE month of November, how could I say no? And so today my friends, is your lucky day! See below for entry details!
